Rodent Control and Exclusion Services in Newton, Massachusetts
Professional Mouse and Rat Removal for Newton Homes
Rodents pose serious health risks and cause significant property damage. Newton Pest Control provides comprehensive rodent control services including inspection, trapping, exclusion, and ongoing monitoring for homes and businesses throughout Greater Boston and MetroWest.
Common Rodents in Newton
House Mice: Small gray-brown rodents that squeeze through openings as small as a dime. They contaminate food, damage insulation, and chew electrical wiring.
Norway Rats: Large burrowing rodents that nest in basements, crawl spaces, and along foundations. They gnaw through wood, plastic, and even soft concrete.
Roof Rats: Agile climbers that nest in attics, upper stories, and trees. They enter homes through roof vents, soffits, and utility openings.
Signs of Rodent Infestation
Identifying Rodent Activity:
- Droppings near food sources or along travel paths
- Gnaw marks on food packaging, wood, or wires
- Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or ceilings
- Nests made from shredded paper or insulation
- Grease marks along walls where rodents travel
- Musky odor in enclosed spaces
- Visible rodents, especially at night
Our Rodent Control Process
Thorough Inspection: We examine your property inside and out to identify entry points, nesting areas, food sources, and travel patterns. Common entry points include foundation cracks, utility penetrations, vents, and gaps around pipes.
Strategic Trapping and Baiting: We place snap traps or bait stations in areas of high activity. Trap placement depends on rodent species, infestation severity, and property layout.
Exclusion and Sealing: The most effective rodent control prevents entry. We seal gaps, cracks, and openings using steel wool, metal flashing, concrete, and other rodent-proof materials.
Sanitation Recommendations: We identify conditions attracting rodents and provide guidance on eliminating food sources, reducing clutter, and improving storage practices.
Follow-Up Monitoring: Rodent control often requires multiple visits. We return to check traps, assess activity levels, and make adjustments as needed.
Health Risks from Rodents
Rodents carry diseases including hantavirus, salmonella, and leptospirosis. Their droppings and urine contaminate surfaces and food. They introduce fleas, mites, and ticks into homes.
Why Professional Rodent Control Works
Complete Elimination: We locate and eliminate entire populations, not just visible rodents.
Proper Exclusion: We seal entry points correctly using durable, rodent-proof materials.
Safety First: We handle rodent control safely, protecting your family and pets.
Long-Term Prevention: Our exclusion work prevents future infestations.
Seasonal Rodent Activity
Fall and winter drive rodents indoors seeking warmth and food. Newton homes experience increased mouse activity from October through March. Professional rodent control before cold weather prevents winter infestations.
